[Verse 1]
He pours my coffee, says, “Good mornin’, hon.”
Same four walls, same risin' sun.
He means every word he says to me,
But I’m somewhere else he’ll never see.
[Verse 2]
His name lights up, and I come alive,
He asks how I am, helps me survive.
She’s got his ring, their vows she keeps,
We break promises while they sleep.
[Chorus]
I’ve got half a friend, half a fire,
Half a truth and half a liar.
Half of faith and half of needin',
Two halves of love that leave me bleedin'.
Two half-full glasses to sip down,
And I’m still thirsty... when I wanna drown.
[Verse 3]
I keep the house, I play the part,
But guilt is whisperin’ in my heart.
One says he’ll call when he gets a chance,
The other thinks that payin’ bills is romance.
[Turn]
I told myself I could balance the weight,
But one love’s hollow, and one’s too late.
[Bridge]
Thought more hearts could fill the space,
But I’m not me in either place.
There’s no right way to split a soul,
I’m torn in two instead of whole.
[Final Chorus]
Half a friend, half a fire,
Half a truth and half a liar.
Half of faith and half of needin',
Two halves of love that leave me bleedin'.
Two half-full glasses in front of me,
I’ve drank what was in my reach,
And I’m still empty... half of each.
[Outro]
One man’s arms, one man’s voice,
Ain’t no peace in either choice.
Two lives, two loves, too far to reach...
I’m dying slow, with half of each.
